I like the solitary feel of this building and especially the shadow of leaves falling across the face of it.

the strong shining light and the shadows of a tree makes this photo dreamful. i like the minimalism of the house.

The shadow is fantastic and I love the name of the road, it's like the title of a Western or a Dylan song.

@cat: actually, "severance" is the name of the town. i didn't see the name of the road. i do like that name.

Can't believe there's a town named Severance, that is so rural. I really like this shot, with the dappled light and the dentil texture on the bricks. The bench evokes so many questions. Who sits there?

This is a strong-looking house, like a fort, and a cube within a cube. Nice.

Like a sentinel, and interesting how, though it's a rather small building, it nevertheless seems to dominate the landscape.

Great light and I like the effect of the shadow on the building. Nice to return to Severence.

I love the dark of something very tall overshadowing the building and the small plant growing out of the top of it....very intriguing on what it may have been. :)

Can't imagine sitting on that bench very long. Fun find.

Great shadows and one has to imagine the tree since there are none about that one can see. And it is difficult to make sense of the building or its purpose. I like its sparse and utilitarian look in combination with a sense uncertainty.

superb use of the evening light...and a great title, like the name of a steve earl song! sc

@david: thanks david. that fits for me. by coincidence, i suppose, i've been listening to steve earle a lot lately (even though i don't really care for his new 'townes' release).

Looks like the "end" of town. Nothing but fields from her on out.

@jeff (aka dogilicious): the beginning, middle, and end of this town...
